Peridots and Perseus

This Friday I got a hole punched in either of my ears. My aunt Jamie will be happy to learn that no, the holes weren't punched with a surgical needle multiple times, they were only done once with a little gauge-puncher-thing. I got my birthstone, a peridot, which is a fun word to say (Yay! I love fun words like peridot and Zulu and Ouagadougou!) and a cool lime green color. By the way, you say that o-word WAH-gah-DOO-goo. I'm having to clean them 3 times a day now, and can't wear hoops or even change them for months. Suckish, but I don't want to mess with my ears anymore for a while. I get to show them off tomorrow, so yay! AGAIN! Also, I'm writing a retelling of Perseus and Medusa, so I got online to do research because I may draw pictures, too. Either Greeks were really perverted, or people just walked around naked as a jaybird all the time. I really doubt the latter, but there usually is the little fig leaf of the scarf positioned just so to cover up what must be covered. Oddly, when I typed in "Medusa" some pictures of pretty snake-haired girls came up. Um, hello? She's supposed to be so hideous she paralyzes you? Gosh, the art world is being hypnotized by Hollywood to paint seductive monsters! WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!?!? Here's an example:
